Before you go
Good to know
Who travels on Banaras Unfiltered?
Independent travellers — 4 to 8 in a group. You share the cab, the boat and the table, and the kind of people you'd want to meet anyway.
Do I share a room?
Yes. Rooms are twin sharing with a traveller of the same gender, in a 3-star premium hotel such as Dev Residency.
What does INR 8,999 cover?
Two nights' stay, every transfer including station pickup, a guide for all three days, your group's private boat, breakfasts and dinners, the food and silk walks and VIP Sugam Darshan. Travel to Varanasi is not included.
Can I carry my phone into Kashi Vishwanath?
No. Phones, bags and leather items are not allowed inside; lockers are available near the gates, and we'll guide you through.
What should I wear?
Modest, comfortable clothes for temples — shoulders and knees covered — and shoes that slip off easily.
When is the next departure?
6–8 November 2026, Friday to Sunday. Reserve a seat on WhatsApp and we confirm it with you directly.
